My Favorite Books as a Kid

This probably explains everything about me

•

Jackie Oh!

My nana had it. I read a few other Kitty Kelly bios the Nancy Reagan one is the best. It's my go to beach read recommendation. I often tell people Nancy Reagan was the Blow Job Queen of Hollywood. Yes, I'm used to blank stares

•

Helter Skelter

I saw the TV movie one Saturday afternoon on TV and had to read the book. I wanted to marry Bugliosi.

•

Sybil

Another TV movie I was obsessed with, those amateur gynecology scenes made my own shitty childhood seem almost Pollyanna-ish. Highly recommend Sybil Exposed as well.

•

Go Ask Alice

Anti drug propaganda at its finest, but as a kid I thought it was powerful.

•

Valley of the Dolls

Most little girls want to be a princess when they grow up, I wanted to be a pill popper

•

Gnomes

This book had a pic of gnome tits in it. It was my bible. When my nana died it was one if the only things I asked for. No one fought me for it.

•

Hollywood Babylon

I was the rare child with a comprehensive knowledge of the Fatty Arbuckle scandal. This book had me at 'graphic images'

•

Flowers in the Attic

I was obsessed with incest as a kid. In other news, please look for my memoir in the near future
